Bystanders wake sleeping truck driver before he burns to death in truck fire

Some Good Samaritans saved a man from potentially serious injuries by waking the sleeping truck driver when his rig caught fire. 

The incident happened at about 2:15 a.m. at 1025 Locust Point Road in York County, Pennsylvania. 

According to the Union Fire Company, fire crews were called on reports of a vehicle fire at a loading dock. When crews arrived, they found a tractor trailer was on fire parked at one of the docks. 

The fire began in the engine of the tractor trailer and spread into the trailer after the refrigeration system caught fire. The fire sent smoke billowing into the nearby building. 

Bystanders who witnessed the fire say they had to wake the sleeping truck driver, who was resting in the sleeper berth, to warn him of the blaze. He was able to escape the cab safely. 

No injuries were reported, but the semi truck was a complete loss.
